A semiconductor device has a semiconductor die. A first insulating layer is disposed over the semiconductor die. A first via is formed in the first insulating layer over a contact pad of the semiconductor die. A first conductive layer is disposed over the first insulating layer and in the first via. A second insulating layer is disposed over a portion of the first insulating layer and first conductive layer.

The interposer is mounted over the carrier and first die with the conductive pillars disposed around the die. A cavity can be formed in the interposer frame to contain a portion of the first die. An encapsulant is deposited through the opening in the interposer frame over the carrier and first die. Alternatively, the encapsulant is deposited over the carrier and first die and the interposer frame is pressed against the encapsulant. Excess encapsulant exits through the opening in the interposer frame. The carrier is removed. An interconnect structure is formed over the encapsulant and first die. A second semiconductor die can be mounted over the first die or over the interposer frame.

A semiconductor device has a substrate with a stiffening layer disposed over the substrate. The substrate has a circular shape or rectangular shape. A plurality of semiconductor die is disposed over a portion of the substrate while leaving an open area of the substrate devoid of the semiconductor die.

The semiconductor die are disposed around a perimeter of the substrate. An encapsulant is deposited over the semiconductor die and substrate. The substrate is removed and an interconnect structure is formed over the semiconductor die. By leaving the predetermined areas of the substrate devoid of semiconductor die, the warping effect of any mismatch between the CTE of the semiconductor die and the CTE of the encapsulant on the reconstituted wafer after removal of the substrate is reduced.
